HELIX Environmental Planning, Inc.
(HELIX), a growing, employee-owned California-based environmental consulting and planning firm, is seeking a motivated
Biologist (Restoration Specialist)
with critical thinking skills and a strong work ethic to join Pasadena office team. HELIX is a full-service environmental consulting firm which offers a full suite of services including dedicated focus on biological, habitat restoration, regulatory permitting and environmental compliance monitoring. We work on a range of interesting projects in both the public and private sectors, spanning habitats from coastal to mountain and into the deserts. In addition to supporting habitat restoration projects from a planning and biological monitoring perspective, the HELIX team includes restoration practitioners who physically implement restoration projects in the field. This ability makes HELIX one of the few firms that can truly design and build restoration projects in house, from growing the plants to monitoring the success, all under one roof. If you ever wanted to be part of the entire restoration process, HELIX is an excellent place to do it.
Our Pasadena location offers a unique opportunity for growth. While HELIX has a robust biological and restoration presence throughout southern California, our Pasadena office is one of our newest and we are looking to add to our team to continue HELIX’s growth throughout Los Angeles, and in restoration projects. This position is a great opportunity for someone excited about being part of a growing office and ready to team up with us to make our Los Angeles area restoration discipline a success.

Biologist (Restoration Specialist) responsibilities include supporting the HELIX biology and habitat restoration teams with habitat restoration project work, including:
Design or assist with designing habitat restoration projects to meet project goals and success criteria. Design and implement site exploration programs to evaluate the potential for successful restoration efforts. Work with Field Restoration Crews to implement restoration designs and lead adaptive management efforts as projects evolve through the restoration process. Develop habitat restoration plans in conjunction with regulatory permitting staff that meet project permit goals. Assist with project design and descriptions to support restoration grant application efforts. Conduct or lead biology surveys, including biological reconnaissance, vegetation mapping, special-status plant surveys, jurisdictional delineations, focused species surveys and/or pre-construction clearance surveys. Conduct or lead biological monitoring for construction/restoration projects. Assist project managers with preparation and processing of wetland permit applications and supporting materials. Participate in business development by keeping resume current, doing a great job on projects, and looking for possible leads for new work. Prepare or assist project managers with proposals and augments for private and public projects, as well as preparation for (or attendance at) project interviews. Includes occasional overnight travel.
The ideal candidate must possess strong analytical and creative problem-solving skills because critical aspects of this position include developing solutions for project challenges, as well as forging strong, collaborative relationships and building consensus among team members, staff, clients, and agencies. A positive attitude, flexible mindset and adaptability to changing circumstances is imperative.
Hourly wages will be based on qualifications and/or experience, with a robust benefits package. Expected starting pay range of $35/hour to $54/hour.
